Produced by Act of God Armaments, the AGA X-2 particle beam
rifle is a directed energy weapon which fires electrons at near-light speeds to
impact on targets with nearly 1 gigajoule of kinetic energy. The speed at which
this weapon fires and the resultant force renders modern ballistic armor nearly
useless. While a potentially devastating weapon, the AGA X-2 has its share of
problems.

The weapon has to recharge after it is fired, a process that
takes 2 rounds. Additionally, some
models are prone to overcharging which can result in atomic explosions. Any time snake eyes is
rolled on a Shooting attack the weapon's energy cartridge has reached critical
mass and will explode within 1d4 rounds, doing
3d10 damage to everything in a large burst template. The cartridge can
be ejected and thrown, providing the character has time to do so.
